Soundcore Liberty 4 vs the KING 👑 AirPods Pro 2 (With mic and Sound Samples)

[@Andrew-un2yp]

I bought both. Trust me, Soundcore 4 is way better for the price and technology. It captures more instruments being used in every song than AirPods and I like Apple a lot. Soundcore Liberty 4 is very clear and has no static at higher volume. Average noise cancelling. The bass from the Sound Core is amazing. Extremely impressed. Especially when you EQ tune to R&B, the sound is extremely impressive. The AirPods has the cool factor but the sound quality is average. Good noise cancelling. It does not capture all the instruments and sound a little blended together. It has light static and higher volumes. Plus, it has average bass. I was disappointed by the brand and price when I played music. Biggest pro AirPods have is that it can get really loud. Overall, for the price and quality. Sound Core Liberty 4 is way better. You will not be disappointed. You’ll be extremely impressed.

[@bastianschweinstiger445]

hey bruh, is the sound quality and noise cancellation better compared to airbuds pro 2? because im planning on buying it this week

[@brianthomas9191]

Great comparison. I mean it. Unlike most comparison reviews, you gave the viewer a chance to hear the music audio portion and noise transparency. This definitely makes me think twice about getting the Liberty 4's. I have the Liberty 3 Pros and was considering the Airpods Pro 2. 👍

[@Merkaba954]

What do you think of the liberty 3s?

[@Merkaba954]

I just ordered the 4s last night hopefully they're are good. They are replacing a pair of powerbeats pro. The beats' quality sucks. Went to bed night before last with working beats. I got up yesterday morning to go to work, and the left bud will not connect or charge, and none of the fixes I can find fix it. Apparently one ear bud stopping working is a common problem with the powerbeats pro

[@esk8spirit362]

you are comparing liberty 4s costing 100 USD vs airpods 2 costing over 200 USD. IMO nothing beats the liberty ear buds and I'm not willing to pay over 100 usd more for the tiny bit better things the airpods do.

[@Macsleuth]

Just got the AirPods Pro 2 today and thinking I might return them and pick up the Libertys instead.

[@MAGA4EVA1986]

@@ejrisweiredYeah idk what home boy was thinking, only excuse I can come up with is that maybe he doesn’t own an IPhone. Otherwise he’s just smoking crack or he’s on gas (meth)!! I’ve had my AirPod Pro 2nd gens for a while now and yes maybe they don’t sound great on the default settings, you can adjust them in a few different ways. I personally just started using Spotify because their app allows you to create a custom EQ so I could increase the bass where I like it since I listen to Metal and hard rock music 90% of the time. Plus the ANC and transparency mode are phenomenal!!

[@kennyv7886]

​@ejrisweired souncore is so much better, coming from someone who switched from the pros

[@chasingexcellence6646]

About sound: everyone’s ear canals are shaped differently and hearing sensitivity across 20 Hz - 20 kHz is also different. Hence the idea of Hear ID, or custom EQ if you have good measurement device to ensure what it measures match what your ears hear so that you could visually tune it to your target curve. For average people Hear ID is a great way to customise your sound with ease. My Hear ID for Liberty 4 for example is quite different to Aaron’s. While his is a V shape and presumably used in this test video, mine is a flat line with only 1db bump between 400-1k hz. To my ears, this sounds “fuller” than the Soundcore signature sound that Arron says it’s about the same as his taste, and Arron presumably presents here. My EQ setting for Space Q45 ( yes I bought that too after watching many reviews) tuned down both treble, boosted up mids and a little bit bass. What I also found is that in soundcore app, preset EQ setting of same names ( pop, acoustic, flat, etc) for liberty 4 and for Q45 are actually set differently and attuned to the specific headphone model. Kudos to that.

[@outermarker5801]

Thanks Aaron, typical Soundcore default V shape. From my experience with Liberty 3 Pro, Q35 and others, the App EQ is very effective at reshaping however you like. I'd discourage anyone from putting too much weight on sound samples for actual in person quality and capability. Especially for products with great App support for sound. They are useful only for general comparison of _default_ sound signatures.

[@darkangel4932]

Anker q35 in default mode has very muffled audio in general, but after equalizing to my liking the sound was much better at all

[@JohnZak]

Listening to a sound comparison of Liberty 4's on a pair of Liberty 4's... Side note, my Hear ID settings made my Liberty 4's sound amazing with a tiny bit of customization.

[@akindapaul1976]

I have the liberty 4s and what he is not tell you is that in the app soundcore designed for the buds there are 3 modes to choose from for which ever environment you're in and desire and also many equalizers to choose from for your likeness. Before choosing the liberty 4s i did some research and watched the reviews for many buds and choose the liberty and I'm so happy i did

[@truechamp3404]

I am also researching, so u feel liberty 4 is a choice that you didn't regret?

[@cosmicheretic8129]

I just got the Liberty 4 open box for $75. I refuse to pay the ridiculous Apple tax and these will sound better with the amazing HearID 2.0 sound shaping anyway. LDAC is also an advantage for these over pods.

[@gettingfitat5015]

The price for the Liberty 4's makes ANY of the differences, worth it to me. Just picked up a pair, and they blow my Sony WF-1000XM4's out of the water! And those are near $300!! vs. 1/2 that price for the Soundcore's...

Thanks for the review. I can't quite accept you can get a decent test using simulated sound. I've listened to many reviews that use this type of example, and many are going in the field to make this point. Secondly, your mic and the acoustics in the room you are doing the review in affects what my ears pick up in your review. My question for you, how much do you use transparency mode? It is so random in my use cases but I'm sure for some would get more use from it. Again, thanks for the review. I'm listening to the sound test wearing Liberty Pro 3's. So, the bass was amazing for me. haha.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

great content, love the way you let us hear what they sound like, I bought the new Airpods pro 2 thanks to your review, the v1 weren't up to scratch, but these new ones have much better sound cancellation but I think the killer USP is the transparency mode. its like not having them in your ear, I have high-end headphones/DAC's for critical listening. but for wear all day stuff have been great, these Soundcore Liberty 4 sounded great for the price, and if not in Apple Eco system, they seem like a steal! keep up great work. PS teh Audio sample library is such a great idea..

i bought an Airpods Pro gen 2 … after 2 weeks of used, its great for an Apple product such an iphone or an ipad hut not for the others, so i sell it and go to Liberty 4

[@colinmartin9797]

This pushed me into the L4. I like the form factor and design of the airpods pro's, but I just cannot justify giving Apple a penny with how poisonously anticonsumer they continue to be. Apple makes the world a worse place with their business practices, and that unfortunately overrides anything else they can offer in their products for me. So as a non-iphone/ios user, I have been struggling to find something similar in design by other brands. It's annoying because nobody really wants to compete with apple at their own price point. The Bose options do weird silly things like make the ANC always on, and everyone else just tries to compete in the $100-150 range, where the hardware just can't quite hit the same point. Also nobody just flat out copies apple's case design, which is perfect. I can afford Airpods pro's. I just don't want to support an evil company. Overall, I just wish there were some real audiophile buds with apple level case quality, fit, and ANC. I think the L4's might be the closest ones out there (though I do like 1more's sound profile and how they shoot for enormous soundstage as a priority and their unbeatable wind noise ANC mode for cycling, their normal ANC deliberately doesn't hit higher frequencies that I see every day on my train and ferry commutes.)

I have the Lypertek Tevi, but the battery has gone rubbish after like 5 years. Started looking for new TWS buds, was going to get the newer Lyperteks but started doing some research. So many options, I fell into the rabbit hole of what's "best" and got really annoyed, so I said f it and ended up getting the Liberty 4 NC. They're trash. Shoulda just went for the new Lyperteks. I know the Liberty 4s are different to the Liberty 4 NC, but not impressed by the fact that 5 years newer buds sound worse.
